Clowes, Daniel

Description

A hit on the alternative comics scene, Daniel Clowes' adult comics, usually published throughout his one-man anthology Eightball, are neurosis personified. Clowes' narrators, usually with a myopic or shaky view of reality, stumble through exhausted, sometimes surreal worlds filled with exaggerated, often grotesque figures. His characters range from over-the-top misanthropes prone to long, sarcastic rants about society to psychologically damaged figures detached from the world around them. Start with: Ghost World
